TazErase Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I heard a rumor about a netbook to. Heard $199 anyone have any info on that. If its for real or not?I've heard it rumored at $150 not $199. Can't confirm it as a fact though. Is this information in print somewhere? This is for BF then? Is it bundled with a printer like last year? Any specs?Canon printer will probably be included as usually but I am not going to say 100% for sure unless I know it as a fact. I could find the model number but I already checked it out and it doesn'tppear any place. They are made specifically for BF for Best Buy exclusively so it is hard to get the specs unless they post it when they officially release the info on the BB site.

freesia39 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Try back Tuesday - that's when they released the extra doorbusters last year. Maybe late Monday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TazErase Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Any clue what type or what the specs are? They like to torment us with these online and comercial sales don't they lolNot sure of the specs. In fact it is not even 100% confirmed. It is rumored that there will be one available real cheap. Not sure you really want to get one though, you'd be better ff with a laptop. Netbooks usually have very low RAM and a small hard drive, and no cd or dvd drive. About the only thing it is good for is going online. Any programs you want to install can't be installed from a cd, you have to locate the files onlin and download them onto a hard drive that is usually only about 8GB. They are nice and portable, but will never replace a laptop or PC. I'm going to be first on line and if there is a netbook I'll pass on it. Most people think a netbook is just a smaller laptop. I just wanted you to be aware in case you weren't what a netbook is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TazErase Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 anyone hear anything about a tv. im really hoping they throw a tv into it.I'm hoping and expecting at least one TV but I have no info on it. I ran a few items by the BB employee today and he was not allowed to say what was on sale on the online ad (I'm referring to the addtional doorbusters for in-store purchase that will only be listed online) but he hinted that there might be. He also confirmed the $229 laptop whenI told him I already had the model number of it, which I do, but Toshiba doesn't tell the specs for it since it is a Best Buy exclusive made for BF.

Nate Dogg Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 They are a lot bigger than that now... still not a laptop, though. If you are considering one I would go to the store in the next 3 days and talk to a sales associate. It will give you time to make up your mind before "crunch time."

Nate Dogg Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Went by BB to snoop today. Saw an eMachine el1200 desktop with a 19" monitor "upgrade" for $318 good through Sunday. Interesting thing was it was $339 for a 17" monitor. Black Friday signage mix-up? Also saw a bunch (maybe 100) of HP laptops wrapped in black plastic sitting in a back corner near the guitar hero games. I was being watched so I couldn't get a model number... Maybe the $499 one, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
